I haven't had marmite in a long time and now I really want some. Word to the wise - marmite cheddar cheese is not the same as a cheese and marmite sandwich. I don't know how they took two great things that compliment each other and made them into one horrible thing that's only fit for the bin.

Marmite and cheese (two excellent things in their own right) in any way combined? Sorry, but to me -- in words from one of my favourite sci-fi novel series, uttered by the hero's rather dim sidekick when confronted with a particularly weird feat of genetic engineering: "Now that is just wrong".

Marmite - awesome stuff. I've certainly made a hot drink from hot water and a spoonful of Marmite, it's quite comforting when one has a cold. Didn't care for Vegemite, which I seem to recall tasting as 'not quite as good as Marmite'. A bit like having 'blackcurrant squash' instead of Ribena.

In a side note, I attribute to my consumption of Marmite the fact that mosquitos avoid me and bite my husband instead.

Marmite-related weird things: at Christmas not just-gone, but the one before, my brother discovered Marmite-flavoured chocolate, and out of curiosity, bought us a bar apiece. Some seemingly-bizarre things can be done with chocolate, but they nevertheless "work" -- who'd have imagined dark chocolate with chilli? -- but he and I agreed (and he's more adventurous then me food-wise) that the Marmite job was, for us, not one of those. It seemed just peculiar; though made with dark chocolate, when actually eating it, it somehow tasted more like milk chocolate, with only the faintest awareness of Marmite. Subsequently, there was a strong Marmite aftertaste; in a not totally pleasant way, we agreed -- though we both like Marmite. For brother and me -- others' mileages could well vary -- something which might have had possibilities, but didn't really make the cut.

I like Vegemite now... wasn't so much of a fan when I mistook it for Nutella the first time I tried it. Vegemite is not Nutella

Yes, vegemite definitely needs to be treated differently to nutella. I remember when I was about 5 years old I whinged to my mum that she never gave me enough vegemite so she let me spread it myself. I slathered it on like nutella. The pain of pretending that there was nothing wrong while eating my way through that lives with me still.
